"No data uploaded" message with custom input

[silasmellor]

Hi,
Firstly let me say i think this tool looks amazing. I am struggling a bit with the input formats however. I have an output from DIA-NN (report.pg-matrix.tsv), which contains proteinID, gene name and LFQ intensity for my runs. I have formatted this into the format required for custom file upload, including a specifications file to let amica know my headers. When i click analyze, i get a small popup in the right corner saying "no data uploaded". I am not sure what to make of this (amica reports upload complete when i add the proteingroups.txt and other files).
I would process with fragpipe or something else if that was easier, but to my knowledge fragpipe does not yet support DIApasef data.
Thanks in advance
Silas

Dear Silas,

does it work when all tab-separated files (design, contrasts, specification file) file extensions end with ".txt" (or .tsv, or .dat)?
I could reproduce the error message, when one of this files doesn't have an appropriate file extension.

The file extension for custom proteingroups file shouldn't matter.

Best,
Sebastian

Thanks Sebastian,

All the files were saved from excel as .txt (tab separated). I tried both .txt and .tsv. I managed to get it to work by changing the column headers to use those from the example data. I only have proteinID, geneName and LFQ columns (as i understand it the DIA-NN output is already filtered to exclude one hit wonders so i left that out of the analysis). I am honestly not sure why the specifications file i originally supplied was not acceptable, but i suspect the issue is a mismatch somewhere in the columne headers and/or specification.

Glad it works! I'll add more informative error messages.

Best,
Sebastian
